This is a wonderful piece of history. There was a similar one made with Sterling Moss narrating a lap driving a Ford GT-40 in 1968. Here is the You Tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMzgeEWqXPQ

It's almost like being there! Also a great look at the Corvette's rear-facing radar system - similar to a video game target lock as the faster cars come by. Very cool tech.

This is the earliest sound I've ever heard recorded from Le Mans. Some nice footage of the 1933 start, and no one talking over it!

Contrast that with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6govI...ture=endscreen from 1929, and you note that for the first few decades of the race, the manner in which it was reported developed as fast as the cars did.

And if you want ridiculously dangerous refuelling, look no further than this pit stop from the Bentley Boys! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPPb-uTO1HU

I hope this trickles down to road cars 'cos I know of some fellow drivers who could really use a system like that!

Ehr, according to the techregs, the GT-R in this case is a racecar too, baring slicks, a full mandatory rollcage and all the needed addenda.
Just a fight between two different racecars.

The GT-R was racing in the SP8T class, Porsche cups were in the SP7 class. What are you getting at? Not to mention that pretty much all the SP7 and SP8 cars kicked the GT-R's ass.

No, you were trying to talk up the GTR. Not hard to see thru that...

and you forgot to mention that the engine, transmission, suspension were stock. for a car to be untouched in these areas and keep up with a GT3 cup car is quite a feat don't you think? not too mention it was the class winner.

MitchZ06 sshhhh thats a secret.

It was the class winner because it was the only car in its class, SP8T. What you forgot to mention is that it has nearly 100 more horsepower than the Cup and that the Club Track edition was used. And the Club Track edition? It happens to be a racing circuit use-only car. http://www.supercars.net/cars/5099.html

What I mean was that those porsches were full-trimmed race cars, as in brakes, power train, electical systems, Engine, Suspension, bodywork, tyres etc. that Nissan would have had next to no chance competing against that with the minor upgrades they had installed. again Bring on the new and improved Nissan GT3 this year, here's a little taste of last years model. (admittedly he is a more accomplished driver) but to keep it on topic.

How good is it seeing #01R running around again!

Saw this on another site and watched it howling around with a big grin on my face. Great to see, wish I could be there to see it in the flesh, moments like this dont come around very often, especially for #01R, which is pretty much priceless and doesnt come out very often especially to hit the track of all things.

When it was running for the McLaren F1 launch this year it was the first time it had run since it was on display at Goodwood after winning Le Mans. I believe this is the first public showing since then....

And yes, every time I see that I get a huge grin
